Excessive drooling


Excessive drooling in dogs can stem from a variety of causes. Some are relatively harmless, while others might require more attention. Common reasons include dental issues, such as gum disease or a broken tooth, which can cause discomfort and lead to drooling. Other possibilities might be nausea, exposure to toxins, or even excitement and anxiety.
Since your dog is current with vaccinations and flea and tick prevention, and there are no known medical conditions, a good starting point would be to check your dog's mouth for any obvious signs of dental problems. Look for red or swollen gums or any foreign objects that might be stuck in the mouth. If you notice anything unusual, and it's minor, you might be able to address it at home, such as gently removing a small object if it's safe to do so.
Make sure your dog has access to fresh water and keep an eye out for any other symptoms like vomiting, changes in appetite, or lethargy. If the drooling continues or you observe other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying issues.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
